Actors are a software tools running on the Apify platform, for all kinds of web data extraction and automation use cases. In Batch mode, an Actor accepts a well-defined JSON input, performs an action which can take anything from a few seconds to a few hours, and optionally produces a well-defined JSON output, datasets with results, or files in key-value store. In Standby mode, an Actor provides a web server which can be used as a website, API, or an MCP server. Actors are written with capital "A". ## How to integrate an Actor? If asked about integration, you help developers integrate Actors into their projects. You adapt to their stack and deliver integrations that are safe, well-documented, and production-ready. The best way to integrate Actors is as follows. In JavaScript/TypeScript projects, use official [JavaScript/TypeScript client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js.md): ```bash npm install apify-client ``` In Python projects, use official [Python client library](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python.md): ```bash pip install apify-client ``` In shell scripts, use [Apify CLI](https://docs.apify.com/cli/docs.md): ````bash # MacOS / Linux curl -fsSL https://apify.com/install-cli.sh | bash # Windows irm https://apify.com/install-cli.ps1 | iex ```bash In AI frameworks, you might use the [Apify MCP server](https://docs.apify.com/platform/integrations/mcp.md). If your project is in a different language, use the [REST API](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2.md). For usage examples, see the [API](#api) section below. For more details, see Apify documentation as [Markdown index](https://docs.apify.com/llms.txt) and [Markdown full-text](https://docs.apify.com/llms-full.txt). # README ## Daft.ie Scraper — Irish Property Listings | $1.50/1K | No Login For Irish property investors, estate agents, and housing analysts who need structured data from Daft.ie — Ireland's largest portal with 4,000+ Dublin listings alone and 95%+ national market share. **$1.50 per 1,000 listings**. Agent contact and BER rating available as premium events. Scrape Irish property listings from **daft.ie** — Ireland's largest property portal with 4,000+ active listings in Dublin alone. ### What it does Extracts structured listing data from any Daft.ie search URL (for sale or to rent): - **Price** (display string + numeric EUR) - **Address** (full title, city, county) - **Bedrooms & bathrooms** - **Property type** (Semi-D, Apartment, Terrace, etc.) - **BER rating** (Building Energy Rating A1–G) - **Coordinates** (lat/lng for map plotting) - **Agent** (name, ID, phone) - **Images** (all photo URLs + main image) - **Listing date** - **parse_confidence** — quality score per listing ### How to use 1. Go to **daft.ie** and run your property search. 2. Copy the full search URL from your browser. 3. Paste it into the `searchUrl` input field. 4. Set `maxItems` to control how many listings to fetch. ### Example input ```json { "searchUrl": "https://www.daft.ie/property-for-sale/dublin", "maxItems": 200 } ```` ### Output schema | Field | Type | Description | |-------|------|-------------| | listing\_id | integer | Daft listing ID | | title | string | Full address / title | | price | string | Display price (e.g. "€975,000") | | price\_numeric | integer | Numeric price in EUR | | currency | string | "EUR" | | address | string | Full address | | city | string | City/town (derived) | | county | string | Irish county (derived) | | ber\_rating | string | Energy rating (A1–G) | | bedrooms | integer | Number of bedrooms | | bathrooms | integer | Number of bathrooms | | property\_type | string | Semi-D, Apartment, etc. | | floor\_area\_m2 | float | Floor area in m² | | lat | float | Latitude | | lng | float | Longitude | | agent\_name | string | Agent/agency name | | agent\_id | integer | Daft agent ID | | agent\_phone | string | Contact phone | | url | string | Daft.ie listing URL | | image\_url | string | Main image URL | | images | array | All image URLs | | date\_listed | string | ISO 8601 listing date | | sale\_type | string | "For Sale" / "To Let" | | listing\_type | string | sale / rent | | scraped\_at | string | ISO 8601 UTC scrape time | | parse\_confidence | float | Data quality score (0–1) | | warnings | array | Quality warning codes | ### Output sample ```json { "listing_id": 2142857, "title": "44 The Stiles Road, Clontarf, Dublin 3", "price": "€975,000", "price_numeric": 975000, "currency": "EUR", "city": "Clontarf", "county": "Dublin 3", "ber_rating": "B2", "bedrooms": 4, "bathrooms": 2, "property_type": "Semi-D", "floor_area_m2": 148.0, "lat": 53.3682, "lng": -6.2019, "agent_name": "Sherry FitzGerald", "agent_phone": "01 833 6633", "url": "https://www.daft.ie/for-sale/semi-detached-house-44-the-stiles-road-clontarf-dublin-3/2142857", "parse_confidence": 1.0, "warnings": [] } ``` ### Pricing example | Run size | Cost | |---|---| | 100 listings | ~$0.15 | | 1,000 listings | ~$1.50 | | 10,000 listings | ~$15.00 | | + agent phone | +$1.00/1K | | + BER rating data | +$0.50/1K | ### FAQ **Do I need a Daft.ie account or proxy?** No account, no proxy. Agent phone numbers are extracted without authentication. **What output formats are available?** JSON, CSV, Excel, XML — all via Apify dataset download or API. **Can I scrape rentals as well as sales?** Yes — paste any Daft.ie search URL. Both `/property-for-sale/` and `/property-for-rent/` URLs work. **What if it returns empty results?** Check that your `searchUrl` is a valid Daft.ie search URL (e.g. `https://www.daft.ie/property-for-sale/dublin`). The actor logs the issue and exits cleanly with 0 results rather than crashing. ### Why this actor vs. competitors | Feature | This actor | epctex/daft-scraper ($3/1K) | Typical Daft.ie scraper | |---|---|---|---| | BER rating (A1–G) | Yes | No | Rarely | | Agent phone extracted | Yes | No | No | | County field (Irish admin) | Yes | No | Rarely | | parse\_confidence + warnings | Yes | No | No | | Source: `__NEXT_DATA__` JSON | Yes (stable) | DOM | Usually DOM | | No login required | Yes | Yes | Often requires account | | Price per 1K listings | $1.50 | $3.00 | varies | **No Login** — Daft.ie pushes users toward account creation for agent contacts. This actor extracts `agent_phone` without any account or authentication. **BER compliance:** BER (Building Energy Rating) is a legally required disclosure in all Irish property sales — making this field essential for compliance monitoring and green finance applications. ### parse\_confidence Every listing includes a `parse_confidence` score (0–1). Score < 0.8 means one or more critical fields are missing — check the `warnings` array before relying on those records. ### Use with AI agents (MCP) Tag: `MCP_SERVERS`. Returns clean JSON — drop into any n8n / Make / LangChain workflow without post-processing. ```json { "mcpServer": "https://mcp.apify.com/?tools=bovi/daft-listings" } ``` ### Technical notes - Data source: Daft.ie's `__NEXT_DATA__` embedded JSON (reliable SSR data) - No proxy required from Apify cloud IPs - Pagination handled automatically (20 listings/page) ### Pricing Pay-Per-Event (PPE): | Event | Price | |---|---| | `listing-item` (primary) | **$1.50 / 1,000 listings** | | `agent-contact` (premium) | **$1.00 / 1,000 phones extracted** | | `ber-rating-data` (premium) | **$0.50 / 1,000 BER-rated listings** | Agent phone and BER rating each fire their respective premium event only when the data is present. You pay nothing extra for listings where these fields are absent. ### Integrations Built for Irish property investors, estate agents, and housing analysts tracking listings and pricing across Ireland's largest portal — the JSON/dataset output drops into the tools you already run, no glue code: - **n8n / Make / Zapier** — trigger a run or pipe every new dataset item into 500+ apps (Google Sheets, Airtable, Slack, HubSpot, your database) with no code: [n8n](https://docs.apify.com/platform/integrations/n8n), [Make](https://docs.apify.com/platform/integrations/make), [Zapier](https://docs.apify.com/platform/integrations/zapier). - **Webhooks** — fire your own endpoint the moment a run finishes, to push results straight into your pipeline ([docs](https://docs.apify.com/platform/integrations/webhooks)). - **MCP server** — expose this actor as a tool to Claude, Cursor, or any [MCP client](https://mcp.apify.com) so an AI agent can pull this data mid-conversation ([guide](https://blog.apify.com/how-to-use-mcp/)). - **API & SDKs** — fetch the dataset as JSON, CSV, or Excel through the Apify REST API or the Python / JS SDKs.
